It traces the subject's origins back to the 18th century, long before the invention of the dynamo, highlighting early experiments with rudimentary electrical devices. The author delves into different methods of applying electricity to plants, including utilizing atmospheric electricity through tall poles, passing currents through the soil with batteries, and using electric light to supplement sunlight. The book examines the intriguing theories behind how electricity affects plant growth, drawing parallels between electrical stimulation and the natural processes of plant nutrition from the air and soil. It discusses the role of bacteria in nitrogen fixation and how electricity might play a part in their activity. The author also speculates on the possibilities of future advancements in electro-horticulture, envisioning a future where crops might be cultivated in a precisely controlled electrical environment.
